    You should automatically qualify for the free kilt just for coming up with the idea of a +pi ! Brilliant !

    Current calculations have pi extended to 10 trillion digits , that should definitely be worth more in kilt points than 10,000 +1s .

    Of course , Lit Trog would have to be the final ruling on my above statement , he is a Chapter President and I'm just a Chapter member , he out ranks me !

    I am absolutely in favor of the 10,000 ***'s for a free kilt, and since the absolute value of -1 is 1, or ***, then -1's will add to the 10,000 *** count. If they don't then I will have to turn to Absolut once the single malt runs out.

    Now off to zoo for a Zebra and then to work on my 5,000 word post.

    If you see abbreviations, initials or acronyms you do not know the Xmarks FAQ section on abbreviations may help.

    I'm honored. I've been defurred because of my rankness, but this is the first time I've been deferred to because of rank.

    Pi is brilliant. It will help determine how much a subject has actually been covered in cases of gross cicumlocution.

    When you search and don't use enough characters the forum porompts you fro more characters. Why couldn't there be a minimum character count required before a post can appear (or at least count againt your post count)

    10 trillion digits. Wow! That's way over a million. I'll bet that if we write that out in a post, Steve will give us our new kilt. Or, ban us from the forum. One or the other.

    I was going to write that you can forget about LitTrog responding, because he is off on other threads posting +1s in order to try to catch up to my now-over-50 +1s. But, as usual, I am wrong.

    What a great idea about using absolute values ... and vodka. Of course, Steve will have to give us absolution.
